New to Appian

I was looking at Appian edge program but is not able to access it. Can anyone check this from [mention:cce87b321768440ab78d43d51ce0bbe9:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] forum.appianportals.com

Hello,  I am new to Appian, wanted to check if we can create a record type from an excel table. For example, the excel table has over 22 columns and this is should be reflected in Appian Record Type. 

I have an expression rule, PMSO_getClergyMemberRecordbyClergyMemberID, that returns a record type. I'm using this in an a!save() function.  How do I refer to just the clergyFirstName field?  I don't want to write expressions to return a single field from a single record. I get an error with this type of expression. local!parishPastorFirstName: rule!PMSO_getClergyMemberRecordbyClergyMemberID(local!parishProfileRecord['recordType!PMSO Parish Profile.fields.pastorClergyId'].['recordType!PMSO Clergy Member.fields.clergyfirstname']),

Has anyone ever created a query for Security Groups?  I need to pull the security groups for an application.  If I were smarter or more experienced, I would have created a Group Type of System to enter the system abbreviation for the security group when I first created the application.  In that way, I could have used the a!groupsByType() function.  The only way to do that now, is to create all new security groups and go through all of the application objects to reassign the security groups for all applications!! :( I created an expression rule to pull all of the custom security groups.  It returns all of the custom security groups from all of the applications when I am looking for one application. The data is returned with type List of Variant.  It seems to me that there should be a way to filter the data returned to see if the name contains the application abbreviation I am looking for.  I'm stuck on how to do that. a!groupsByType(cons!PMSO_Custo

Scripts work fine in headless mode when I run them locally. But in Jenkins, the login page doesn't load fully, and the 'Sign In' button is missing so it throws an error when i use Appian 24.3 jar methods but the scripts running fine with page xpaths.. Can someone please help me fix this?

I'm trying to implement a record picker in a form.  But I'm facing issues getting it behave the way I would prefer. Currently I have an interface for the form and this is tied to a process model that uses the interface as a start form and takes the input from the form and calls a Write Record Smart service.  This all works as expected. On the interface I have a rule import: ri!workflowTemplateId that holds the selected values of the RecordPicker.  In the processModel I have processVariable : pv!workflowTemplateId that this is passed into.  My current issue is that when the form is loaded this value is coming in as "0" (I believe) so the RecordPicker field is pre selected but with an object "[Not Available]" because I obviously don't have an object with an ID of 0.  I would like the RecordPicker field to be empty when entering the form but I cannot seem to get it to be empty.  I have tried with this field as both an Integer f

I'm new to appian and I’m trying to update specific fields (status and step) of a record in my Process Model using the Write Records Smart Service, but instead of updating, it keeps creating a new record. What I’m Doing: I pass the record to a form where the user can approve or reject it. When the button is pressed, I update the status and step values using a!save(). I then pass ac!record to pv!record. Finally, I use the Write Records Smart Service to save the changes. Issue: Instead of updating the existing record, the Write Records node creates a new record.

I am currently working on a file upload component and do not require any process model for my use case. I have successfully uploaded an Excel file containing data for five users. To read this data, I have written an expression rule, which is functioning correctly. However, I am encountering an issue: after uploading the Excel file and clicking the submit button, I need to display the data in a read-only grid. Could anyone provide a suggestion or solution for this matter? Thank you in advance for your assistance.a!localVariables( a!formLayout( label: "", contents: { a!sectionLayout( label: "Create Users in Bulk", contents: { a!linkField( instructions: "Add additional rows with user information based on the header", links: { a!documentDownloadLink( label: "CSV Template", document: cons!GUM_USER_CSV_DOC ) } ), a!fileUploadField(

Hello everyone! I recently joined an IT company as an intern developer, and I've been assigned to the Low Code department, which works with Appian. I've been advised to study Appian before getting involved in projects, so I signed up for the Appian Developer Learning Path and have been working through some courses. However, the reason I'm writing this is to ask for advice on what else I should focus on besides the courses in the Appian Developer Learning Path. I know these types of questions are quite common, but with so much information available, I sometimes feel a bit lost. I really want to learn and be as useful as possible in this role, so any guidance from experienced developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, friends!

Hi All, I am using gridPlusLayout , i want to know how can we put validation on columnConfigs. 1.Like if want to put validation for null or empty. 2. the second concern is when i am editing a field after made changes it save data into separate variable, but every time when we load grid it by default creates a null empty row and add that row also in save data variable. so when i am saving that record  in record type it thorw error because a null type or row is also adding into save data variable.  It works fine when we manually remove that data from grid but when we don't remove that causes error. So how to handle this situation.
